Types of Electrical Switches We Install

We install a comprehensive range of electrical switches. We service all brands and can help you determine which switches offer the energy savings, convenience, and durability you desire. Some of the switches we install include:

• Single pole: Single pole switches control one electrical circuit, such as from the switch to an overhead light. These are the most common switches and are usually the easiest to install.

• Dimmers: Dimmer switches contain semiconductors (older switches have variable resistors), and are designed to dissipate power and reduce the voltage to an overhead light. You can install dimmers nearly anywhere, but you will need to also pair it will a dimmable bulb.

• Three- or four-way switches: Three and four-way switches are engineered to control a group of lights, usually from two different locations. This makes them ideal for hallways, stairwells, and basements. 

• Occupancy sensors: These sensors are capable of detecting when a room is occupied, and when its vacant. When the room is vacant, the sensor will turn off or dim the lights, thus helping improve the energy-efficiency of your home. 

• Programmable switches: Programmable switches allow you to establish a customized schedule for turning on/off the lights. For instance, programming the light to turn on just before you arrive home in the evening.

• Smart switches: Smart switches can be controlled via your Smart home system. These switches allow you to turn on/off lights from anywhere you have a Wi-Fi connection. 

Our Electrical Switch Installation Process

We can install new switches or replace existing switches in your home. We will run the necessary wires, prepare the outlet, and install the new switch. Once installed, we will inspect and test the switch to confirm everything’s connected and secure. Depending on the complexity of the installation, the replacement process usually takes less than 30 minutes to complete, while installation of a new switch can take an hour or so. 

How To Tell If Your Switch Has Gone Bad

If you detect any of the following, we recommend promptly resolving the issue by scheduling a service appointment with our licensed and insured electricians:

• Flickering lights: This can be because of loose connections, bad wiring, or voltage fluctuations.

• Switch is warm to the touch: This is often because the circuit is overloaded or the switch is failing.

• Buzzing noises: Buzzing is often the result of loose connections or because of the wrong bulbs or switch.

• Discoloration: This is a critical issue due to overheating. It’s an immediate fire hazard that requires prompt action.

• Visible sparks: Similar to discoloration, sparking is a critical problem. It can be due to arching, faulty wiring, or loose connections.
